EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE
THE KLANSMJSN’S VIEWPOINT
This is a world, fortunately or un
fortunately, where people look down
on each other. The point from which
each looks is determined by various
sorts of prejudice. Race discrimin
ation is as old as the difference in
races, but it often shows itself with
in race limits. Certain classes of
Chinese look down on other classes;
some Jews on other Jews; some ne
groes on other negroes; and a good
many Americans on other Americans
who are equally as good as those who
stand on vantage points of wealth
and culture. The Klansman looks
down on no man, but believes that
each man is divinely appointed to fill
a certain place in universal life—that
each race has its purpose, place, and
destiny. That it is wrong to give to
any man or any race a job for which
be or it is not fitted.

According to Leonard Astrom, Fin
nish Minister of Finance, the legs of
Nurmi, the Finn, joyously beating
the cinder track, have been worth
$10,000,000 to Finland. The Ameri
can sporting world has been inter
ested in Nurmi and heralded his
prowess to the farthest limits of the
republic. Men with money have lis
tened to the sagas—and finally in
terested themselves in Finland’s
credit. Nurmi thus appears to be a
Finnish patriot doing all his body’s
best to help his country—giving all
he has to give. What a lesson in
Finnish Klankraft for American
Klansmen!

BAPTISTS DENOUNCE EVOLUTION;
REPORT PROGRESS IN THEIR WS
Southern Convention at Memphis Adopts Statement of Baptista
Faith and Message for Information of World—Co-operative
Program for Support of Enterprises Endorsed.
Many large achievements were re
ported to the Southe.-n Baptist Con
vention at its recent session at Mem
phis by Its various missionary, educa
tional and benevolent enterprises, al
though none of them had at its com
mand during the past year as large
funds as were needed.
The Hospital Commission reported
24 Baptist hospitals in operation in
the South, with three others under
construction. These institutions treat
ed over 100,000 patients during the
year and did over $1,000,000 in char
ity work for deserving poor.
More than 1,000 aged preachers and
their dependent ones were aided by
the Relief and Annuity Board.
MANY BAPTISMS REPORTED
The Sunday School Board reported
a gain of 969 Sunday Schools for the
year, with 166,236 new pupils, bring
ing the present number of Southern
Baptist Sunday schools to 21,670, with
an enrollment of 2,563,963. Other
items in the board's statistical report
show that there are now 17,617 Bap
tist churches affiliated with the Con
vention which last year reported 209,-
<76 baptisms and which now have

total assets of these schools from
$7,600,000 to $48,000,000. it was re
ported by the Education Board. In
these institutions there are 38,000
Baptist students.
The Home Mission Board employed
1,077 workers during the year who
reported 30,027 baptisms and 60,364
additions to the churches, the erec
tion or repair of 366 church houses
and the organization of 608 Sunday
schools.
On 17 foreign fields the Foreign
Mission Board has employed 618
American misaionaries and 2,443 na
tive workers. A total of 12,134 bap
tiams were reported by these work
ers for the year, bringing the present
membership of the foreign churches
to 117,961.
ENDORSES CO-OPERATIVE
PROGRAM
! The Convention heartily endorsed
the co-operative plan for the support
of all its missionary, educational and
benevolent work and named a Com
mission on the Co-operative Program
which will seek to enlist all the Bap
tist churches of the South in the reg
ular, systematic support of home,
state and foreign missions, ministe
rial relief and Baptist schools, hos
pitals and orphanages. Churches not
already supporting all these enter
prises through weekly contributions
are invited to assume such sypport
at once. The Convention endorsed
the plan of the Commission discour
aging independent appeals to churches
and individuals on the part of special
denominational interests, urging all
of them to look to the Co-operative
Program for their support and asking
all the churches to support the Pro
gram.
STAND BY THE OLD BIBLE
That the world may know where
Southern Baptists stand upon the
great fundamental Christian doc
trines, many of which are being as
sailed today, the convention adopted
a statement of the Baptist faith and
message, in which attacks upon the
inspiration and authority of the Bible
and the divinity of Christ were vig
orously refuted.
Here are some of the leading
declarations in the statement as it
was adopted:
THE SCRIPTURES
“We believe that the Holy Bible
was written by men divinely in
spired and is a perfect treasure of
heavenly instruction; that it has God
'or its author, salvation for its end,
and truth, without any mixture of
error, for its matter; that it reveals
the principles by which God will
judge us. and therefore is, and will
remain to the end of the world, the
'«« center of Christian anion, and
Thursday, June 4, 1925 .
the supreme standard by which *H
human conduct, creeds and religious
opinions should be tried.”
THE FALL OF MAN
‘‘Man was created by the special
act of God as recorded in Genesis.
‘So God oreated man in his own im
age, in the image of God creuteil he
him; male and female created he
them.’ (Gen. 1:27). And the Lord God
formed man out of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life; and man became a
living soul,’ (Gen. 2:7). He was cre
ated in a state of holiness under the
law of his maker but through the
temptation of Satan he transgressed
the command of God and fell from
hie original holiness and righteous
ness; whereby his posterity inherit
a nature corrupt and in bondage to]
sin, are under condemnation, and as
soon as they are capable of moral
action, become actual transgressors.’’
THE WAY OF SALVATION g
"Salvation of sinners is wholly on
grace, through the mediatorial office
of the Son of God, who by the Holy
Spirit was born of the Virgin Mary
and took upon him our nature, yat
without sin; honored the divine law
by his personal obedience, and made
atonement for our sins by his death
Being risen from the dead he is now
enthroned in heaven and uniting in
his person the tenderest sympathies
with divine perfections, he is in every
way qualified to be a compassionate
and all-sufficient Savior.”
CO-OPERATION
“Christ’s people should, as occasion
requires, organize such associations
and conventions as may best secure
co-operation for the great objects of
the Kingdom of God. Such organiza
tions have no authority over each z
other or over the churches. They
voluntary and advisory bodies design
ed to elicit, combine and direct the
enegriee of our people in the most ef
fective manner. Individual members
of New Testament churches should
co-operate with each other, and the
churches themselves should co-oper
ate with each other in carrying for
ward the missionary, educational and
benevolent program for the extension
of Christ’s Kingdom. Christian unity
in the New Testament sense is spirit
ual harmony and voluntary co-opera
tion for common ends by various
groups of Christ’s people. It is per
missible and-desirable as between the
various Christian denominations, when
the end to be attained is itself justi
fied, and when such co-operation in
volves no violation of conscience or
compromise of loyalty to Christ and
His Word as revealed in the New
Testament.”
STEWARDSHIP
“God is the source of all blessings,
temporal and spiritual; all that we
have and are we owe to Him, We
have a spiritual debtorship to the
whole world, a holy trusteeship in the
Gospel, and a binding stewardship in
our possessions. We are therefore
under obligation to serve Him vfi®
our time, talents and material posses
sions; and should recognize all these
as preaching the Gospel of Christ,
and of God and helping others. Chris
tians should cheerfully, regularly, sys
tematically, proportionately and ; lib
erally contribute of their meaps to
advancing the Redeemer’s cause on
earth.”
EVOLUTION 16 DENOUNCED
To the statement of faith proper
the Convention added a declaration
upon the relation of science and re
-1 gion in which the theory of evolution
was denounced. Referring to evolu
tion the statement says:
"Its best exponents admit that
the causes of the origin of species
have not been traced, nor has any
proof been forthcoming that mkn
is not the direct creation of God as
recorded in Genesis. We protect
against imposition of this theory of
evolution upon the minds of ouK
children in denominational or pubM
schools as if iA were a definite anty
established truth of science. We in
sist that this and all other theories
be dealt with in a truly scientific
way, that is, in careful conformity to
established facts.
“W’e record again our unwavering
adherence to the supernatural ele
ments in the Christian religion. The
Bible is God’s revelation of himself
through men moved by the Holy
Spirit, and is our sufficient, certain
and authoritative guide in religion.
Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin
Mary, through the power of the Holy
Spirit. He was the divine and eternal
Son of God. He wrought miracles,
healing the sick, casting out demons,
raising the dead. He died as the
vicarious, atoning Savior of the world
and was buried. He arose again
from the dead. The tomb was emp
tied of its contents. In his risen
body he appeared many times to his
disciples. He ascended to the right
hand of the Father. He will come
again in person, the same Jesus wife
ascended from the Mount of Olive?.
“W’e believe that adherence to the
above truths and facts is a necessary
condition of service for teachers in
our Baptist sebeele.”
